vulnerability?Clean takes the reader on a gritty trip into the
real and raw world of teenage substance abuse.

Mia
Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children—all named after
saints—and five nonpedigreed cats—all named after the next best
thing to saints, Boston Red Sox players. Her husband of twenty years
has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t
ask Mia about that, as it is a sensitive subject.

Mia focuses
her stories on the emotional growth of troubled men and their
relationships, and she believes that sex has a place in a love story,
but not until it is firmly established as a love story. As a teen,
Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of tortured
heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of
1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her mattress for
safekeeping. She is thankful to Dreamspinner Press for providing her
with an alternate place to stash her stories.

Mia is proud of
her involvement with the Human Rights Campaign and cheers for each
and every victory made in the name of marital equality. Her only
major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school,
destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and
constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.

Thank you for hosting me on your blog today! Clean is a YA LGBTQ Contemporary Romance that deals with teenage substance abuse! I hope you check it out! It is a tough to read, at times, but important book!
